FOUND AT LAST.
THE PECULIAR DEATH OF AN OHIO COUNTY
CITIZEN.
his Body Discovered, Yesterday POtudins
From Beneath = Bank Of
Frozen Earth.

Amystery which has been Puzzling the
citizens of the upper end Of the county,
about the mouth OF Glenn's run, for nearly
two months, was cleared up yesterday.
Along about the first week in December
William Duffy, an old man who occupied
small tenant house near where the run
empties into the Ohio, and who supported
himself by doing odd work for the farmers
in the vicinity, disappeared suddenly from
his accustomed haunts When last seen, he
was somewhat under the influence of liq-
nor, but little or no attention was paid to
him. and it was not for two or three days
that his absence excited apprehension upon
the part of those who knew him. A search
of the neighboring country and enquiries
of people living along the river and run
threw no light upon Duffy's whereabouts,
and the matter was gradually dropped
from the public mind and forgotten.
Yesterday about noon, while man
named Peter Barre was crossing the run
in the vicinity of Duffy's deserted cottage,
he was Mortified ut seeing the lower por-
ton OF mans legs, encased in pair OF
boots, protruding from near the bottom oil
steep hank Of earth close to where the
run empties into the Ohio. After hastily
examining the locality, Mr.. Barre gave the
alarm TO people in the vicinity, and mes
Senger was dispatched 10 Station Il on the
Wheeling Gas Company pipeli whence
message WAS telephOned to Coroner
Schultze. That official quickly procured q
buggy, and about half past two o'clock he
was on the ground.
The body was carefully eXhumed from
the frozen earth and removed to the bank
above, when it was identified rs being the
remains of the long-lOst Mr.. Duffy. The
Coroner, after viewing the remains, and
hearing tine circumstances regarding Mr.
Dutfy's disappearance, had the body re-
moved to this city and taken to Menders
undertaking rooms, where it WAS prepared
| for burial.
Ii is supposed that in endeayoring to
cross the run while in an intoxicated con-
dition. Mr.. Duffy slid down the rather
steep hank to the edge OF the stream, and
/ a large quantity of loose earth following
| him, he was buried and sufTOcated. The
earth soon became frozen solid, and the
body lay there for seven long weeks, until
Saturday or yesterday, when the warm
weather caused the earth to soften, and
the rising water washed enough OF 1t away
TO uncover the feet and lower portion Of
the legs, exposing them to the sight of any
chance passer-by.
Deceased was about 90 years of age.
His wife died some time ago, and his only
relative is a son, now living ut Holiday
Cove. Hancock county. The son is eX'
pected 10 ARRIVE to-day and take charge
of the remains of his father.

PROHIBITION.
A Well Known Citizen Airs His Opinion
on the Matter.

A Well Known Citizen Airs His Opinion
on the Matter.
There is a great deal Of interest mani
tested about the city in reference to the
result of the vote on the Prohibition
Amendment in tina Senate, which is an
nounced to come up ON Tuesday. Apronf-
inent citizen yesterday accOsted a REGIS
TER reporter with the remark:
"Why don't you fellows say something
about this prohibition business, not as
political question, but as question that
deeply affects the prosperity OF the State
and more especially Ohio county,"
swell, what have you to say in regard
to the matter"
"Oh, could talk to you all night and
give you q book full of str Ong reasons why
such an amendment should be defeated,
while no one, no matter who, can show
me where city, county or State prohibition
ever did any good, or effected the purpose
which was meant it should. But | will
coniine myself to few points that are
weighty and cannot be contradicted."
well, let's hear them"
"In the first place look what an i'm
mense loss of revenue prohibition would
cause to the State, and especially Wheel
ing and Ohio county. Right here in the
city on city tax alone the loss would he
over $40,0 900 per annum. Then where
would the money go that IS now spent for
drink? 1t would go right over into Ohio
and come back in liquid shape, or be
spent right in the city against the law,
Just the same NJ in Maine, Kansas and
Iowa. | venture to assert that there
would not be one drunkard less in the
city, or not one man who would be pre-
vented from taking his nip when
be desired Now, to tell you the truth
as a true citizen, l should be inclined to
vote for prohibition, but when | realize
what vast amount of damage it would do
the city's prosperity, l must sacrifice
sentiment and vote against it, i'll event OF
it's being submitted TO the people, which l
| hope will not he the case.
State prohibition prohibits nothing but
the revenue obtained from its sale and
manufacture. Take Wheeling, for
instance, and close her brewerics
| and saloons, and see how many
men will he thrown out Of employment,
and now the use of good property will be
destroyed. Prohibition would drive from
our city influential entcrprising men, who
have done rs much rs any other class of
our citizens for the advancement and pros
perity of the city. Then the State throws
itself liable to the losses incurred by the
closing of these establishments, us has been
decided in the Supreme Courts OF two
States already. Why, if all the dis
tilleries and breweries in this
State were prohibited from man
ufacturing their goods aud the State
were compelled to compensate the proprie-
tors for their losses, AS doubtless she would,
the sum would be ut least two million Of
dollars. The whole result Of prohibition,
in fact, would be the placing of extra tax
upon the citizens to make up the loss in
revenue. and am sure if the matter is
studied into rightly it would be found
| highly impractical "
